Molesin Charlotte NC

You should seek a professional evaluation if a mole changes in size, shape, or color, or if a new one appears in adulthood. Following the ABCDE guide is a good first step to determine if your mole should be examined for potential health concerns.

The ABCDE guide is a simple mnemonic used to identify potentially problematic moles: A (Asymmetry), B (Border irregularity), C (Color variation), D (Diameter larger than a pencil eraser), and E (Evolving or changing over time). If you notice any of these signs in a mole in Charlotte, a professional evaluation is recommended.

Mole removal is a minimally invasive procedure, and any discomfort is typically minimal. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring that you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the entire process.

While any skin excision can result in a scar, our dermatologists are skilled in techniques that minimize their appearance. They will discuss the best removal method to ensure the most discreet result possible.

Whether a mole removal is covered by insurance depends on the reason for the procedure. If the removal is for medical purposes (e.g., a biopsy for a suspicious mole), it is often covered. Cosmetic removal is typically not covered. We can assist you in navigating your insurance benefits.

During your consultation, our dermatologist will perform a comprehensive skin exam, answer all of your questions, and discuss any concerns you may have. We will assess your moles to determine if they are a medical concern or can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
